EM-DAT Chad: Natural Disaster Impacts and Economic Losses by Subtype

Natural disaster impact statistics for Chad from the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED) updated as of 2026. The data aggregates disaster frequency, fatalities, and economic losses by year and disaster subtype. It provides specific metrics for affected populations and inflation-adjusted financial damages.

Use Cases

• Analyzing trends in 'total number of deaths' by 'disaster subtype' over time
• Calculating the financial impact of hazards using 'economic losses (adjusted)'
• Mapping the frequency of specific disaster events per 'year'

Strengths

• Includes inflation-adjusted economic loss figures for longitudinal financial comparison
• Categorized by specific disaster subtype rather than broad hazard types
• Authored by the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED)

Limitations

• Geographic scope is limited strictly to Chad
• Potential underreporting of economic losses for historical or small-scale events
